I heard on the news last week that Wal-mart was recalling their Baby Connection bibs due to the amount of lead found in the canal backings. The recall is specific to the state of Illinois. This simply means that the state of Illinois says that the bibs contain more than the acceptable limit of lead in the bibs.

HELLO!!!!!!! If on estate says that there is too much lead in the bibs, then no matter where I live, I am not keeping any of them. You can’t buy lead based paint any more so why would I want to hang a lead bib around my infant’s neck?

The recall involves:

• Baby Connection 2-Pack Easy Wipe Bibs (UPC No. 01468152705)
• Baby Connection 7-Pack Feeder Bibs (UPC No. 01468151077)
• Baby Connection 2-Pack Feeder Bibs (UPC No. 01468102732)

If you have any questions, my suggestion is to throw them out. I can’t see a single reason why you should take the chance with the single most precious thing in your life under the age of 5 (Can’t exclude the other kids and the DH).

My sister sent me adorable, personalized burp clothes for my little girl.  I never thought about them before but when I finally took her to the nursery at church, I was very grateful for her monogram to be on her burp cloth.  Not to mention that they are totally precious!  The problem came when she was pregnant and I wanted to return the favor for her baby shower.  When I went online, all I could find were cute monogramed burps that were very expensive.  I was too frugal – ok cheap- to get her some… Until I came across Burps, Bibs, and Beyond.  Not only were they reasonably priced, but their designs were fabulous.  I was able to get her baby shower present personalized and she loved them.  So here’s another sweet idea for a unique baby shower gift that is priced just right.
